[Tfug] X11VNC + Xinerama cursor problems, NoMachine NX plug

[Chad Woolley]

I have Xinerama spanning 4 monitors, and I'm running X11VNC.  When I
connect from a windows client (UltraVNC and RealVNC), the mouse cursor
is not correct.  It is about a screen to the right of where it is
being rendered on the client, or sometimes not there at all.

Anyone ever use VNC and Xinerama?  I could debug, try using less
screens or some more clients, but I just walked across the house to
the box and typed this instead.  I'm lazy :)

On a related note, I just installed NoMachine NX, and it's really
cool.  It's like you are at the local X terminal - even faster than
Remote Desktop under Windows.  I can't believe I'd never heard of it.
The only reason that I want to use X11VNC now is so I can save and
gracefully shutdown the apps which have a lockfile, like Firefox and
Eclipse.  NX starts a new X session, so I have to kill these before I
can open them in NX.
